Real Sociedad vs Pau Prediction and Betting Tips

Real Sociedad will welcome Pau to Campo José Luis Orbegozo in a pre-season friendly on Friday. Sociedad will play for the first time in the pre-season, while the visitors will visit Spain for the second year in a row in the pre-season.

The hosts will play for the first time since May, when they concluded their La Liga 2024-25 campaign with a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid. They had registered just one win in the pre-season friendlies last season and will look to improve upon that record.

The visitors have played two friendlies thus far. They got their pre-season underway with a 4-1 triumph over Aubagne and were held to a goalless draw by Toulouse last week.

Real Sociedad vs Pau Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

The two teams will meet for the first time.

The visitors met Spanish teams twice in the pre-season in 2024. They lost 4-1 to Real Valladolid in July and overcame the Real Sociedad B team in August.
The hosts had seen a drop in form in their final phase of the 2024-25 season, winning just one of their last eight games while suffering five defeats.
The visitors, meanwhile, had lost their last two games of the 2024-25 season.
Sociedad went winless in their last three pre-season friendlies in 2024, scoring two goals while conceding five times.
The visitors are unbeaten in their last four friendlies. Notably, they have scored four goals apiece in three games in that period.

Real Sociedad vs Pau Prediction

Txuri-Urdin will play for the first time in the pre-season and will look to leave a good account of themselves. Notably, they had met a French opponent, Rennes, in the preseason in 2024 and fell to a 2-0 loss.

Les Maynats have enjoyed an unbeaten run in the pre-season thus far and will look to continue that form. They overcame the Sociedad B team in 2024, though that win was registered in France.

Txuri-Urdin will have the home advantage here and considering their better squad quality, we back them to eke out a narrow win.

Prediction: Real Sociedad 2-1 Pau
